	A user can direct-connect to an instance if another of their own clients is already inside. The new client kicks the old one on entry, letting you switch between VR and desktop without losing your slot in a full instance.

			====Avatar Performance Gated====
			{{Noticebox/unreleased\|{{Upcoming_inline\|2026.2.1\|docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-202621-open-beta}}}}

			Group instances have the option to set a minimum performance limit for avatars. These limits are set on instance creation and applies to all users within the instance. The Minimum Performance Limit can be set to limit Poor, Medium, or Good avatars. The default is set to none.

			When the limit is in effect, users violating the performance limit will be subject to:
			* Attempting to join the instance will notify the user that their avatar violates the performance limit. They will receive a warning pop-up showing their current avatar rank, the instance performance limit, and how users will see their avatar.
			* Within the instance, users will see their avatar as a [[Special:MyLanguage/Fallbacks\|Fallback]] or an [[Special:MyLanguage/Impostors\|Impostor]], but locally the user will still be in their regular avatar.

			Groups can set up a role to bypass avatar performance requirements.

	Whilst selecting an instance type, there are choices for varying regions to better optimize their experience. Choosing an instance closest to your location will see a decrease in [[Special:MyLanguage/:Community:Terminology#Ping\|ping]], and ensuring a more stable connection to the instance, preventing disconnections and lag.

	Historically, VRChat ran solely on the U.S. West server. On June 16, 2021, two extra regions - '''Europe, and Japan''' were added to the platform in the [https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-202124 Regions update]<ref>https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-202124</ref> to distribute server load, and offset increasing user count. On December 1, 2021, VRChat added the '''U.S. East'''<ref>https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-202142</ref> region, and renamed the current USA server to ''''U.S. West'''<nowiki/>'. Users are also encouraged to check VRChat's {{VRC link\|https://status.vrchat.com\|server status}} website or their [https://x.com/VRChat_Status VRChat Status account] on social media for outages, or upon discovering issues when connecting to VRChat.
